Wreck Lead was a train station along the
New York and Long Beach Railroad to serve numerous fishing clubs and hotels.[1] This station was a flag stop.[2] Wreck Lead consisted of a low cinder platform on the northeast side of the Reynolds Channel (south of here, the railroad traverses the channel via the Wreck Lead Bridge). In 1911, a second platform was installed on the west side of the tracks and on January 15, 1927, and Wreck Lead became the terminus of the double-tracking of the Long Beach Branch.[3][4] Wreck Lead closed on December 31, 1927.[5]
